Welcome to the SCI Programmers Wiki.
A Wiki for the SCI Programming Community. SCI is the game engine created by Jeff Stephenson for Sierra On-Line, which was used between the years of 1989 to 1997. It superseded Sierra's earlier AGI engine. It was used to create such games as King's Quest IV to VII, Space Quest III to 6, Quest for Glory I to IV and Gabriel Knight I and II. With the availability of such tools as Brian Provinciano's SCI Studio 3 and Phil Fortier's SCI Companion, you can create your own games based on the same engine that Sierra used. This Wiki is a knowledgebase and collection of resources for those working with SCI. Additional help can always be found on the SCI Programming Community Message Board. For help with Sierra's games, see The Sierra Help Pages.
